501. To ask the Minister for Health his views on whether it is appropriate that a child with Pffeifer syndrome should not have access to a specialised team of care givers under the home care package which can fully respond to the needs of the child; if the provision of agency staffing to provide care in these instances can lead to gaps in care provision due to a lack of continuity; if it would be economically more feasible to employ a dedicated team as opposed to agency staff; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter, it has been referred to the Health Service Executive for direct reply to the Deputy.
